Seven months later, it’s finally got a new look..
We have two real trees up right now in our house, and eventually I’d like to one year be able to have a tree in every room.Going to the farm to cut down all those trees just wouldn’t be convenient, so having a few artificial trees for the bedrooms makes total sense.. Balsam Hill agreed to try to rush a tree to me within a week so I could get it up and make a little video for them with plenty of time before baby Jack would be born.
Unfortunately, the customs people at the border had other plans and I actually only ended up getting the tree about 6 weeks later, which was a couple of days ago.I still want to show you the tree all decorated up, so I’m doing a quick blog post on the tree instead..So first we had to put the tree together, of course..
It came in three separate sections, all wrapped up.I love that there was even a storage bag provided for the tree.. All we had to do was stick the three sections together and it was good to go.
The tree’s pre-lit and even those lighting connections went together automatically when the tree was assembled..
Here it is in the middle of the room.. You can see it looked pretty great like that already, but we fluffed the branches up a little first before decorating it.The other day, I was watching this special on PBS featuring Dr. Fuhrman, who’s whole thing is this “nutritarian” style of eating.
One of my many mini side-interests is healthy eating and nutrition, so I love these kinds of TV specials and I find them really interesting and motivating.He happened to be watching with me that day though while we were playing with Jack in the living room and thought it was pretty funny when Dr. Fuhrman explained the acronym G-BOMBS and how it represents all these different foods that we should all be eating every day, according to his theories.
The “M” in G-BOMBS stands for mushrooms, so I decided to pick some up next time I was at the store and make something delicious to yet again try to fool Chris into eating somewhat healthy.After watching the special, I would think he’d be totally motivated regardless and would eat whatever I put in front of him, but why not make it tasty too, right?
